“View Source” in DevTools

No way, Jose! I use View Source all the time! It’s very useful when you want to look at the raw HTML, not the DOM.

Yes, that is useful, and yes, there is a difference. But just because you are looking at DevTools doesn’t mean the DOM is the only thing you can see.

This is Chrome DevTools.Safari has a Resources tab

There is also a Network tab in DevTools for every browser. That’s where you find a way to look at the document.

Firefox’s Network tab

So, if your concern about losing View Source is that you’d have no possible way to see the document instead of just the DOM, that’s just not true. You can rest assured that you have the same affordance in DevTools.

If your concern is that it’s handier to see the source as a full-window tab with an easy keyboard shortcut, then sure, OK, that’s a reasonable argument to make.
